294 CATALOGUE OF RARE PLANTS FOUND IN THE 



hood of Moseley, forms a valuable addition to that of the Birming- 

 ham plants given by a gentleman in a former number, a few of 

 which have been repeated when it was desirable to furnish other 

 habitats. I have sent the lists as they were received, with the 

 exception of my having added a little to the first. And as I 

 have had the gratification of inspecting, either in the living state or 

 in Miss Beilby's herbarium, nearly every species comprehended in 

 the first catalogue, with the exception of the Carices, I can bear 

 testimony to its correctness ; and from Miss Jackson's extensive and 

 minute acquaintance with our indigenous flora, implicit confidence 

 may be placed in the accuracy of the list from Lichfield. It may 

 be well to premise, that, in ihe first list, the names are from Lind- 

 ley, in the second from Smith. 



Yours, respectfully, 



E. W. BENSON.
